hi, been having this issue randomly over the past... maybe 2 years or so. unsure how the all other instances started except for a few, one of them happened from just updating windows, another was updating the mail app, one happened because i changed an
email account's password, and yes, it's NOT always the yahoo account.
here's what's going on...
trying to add my yahoo email since i JUST reformatted/re-installed windows 10 on my PC a couple hours ago and just got done installing and updating everything. went to add my email's to the app as i usually do, for yahoo i have the "account key" thing
which works fine(yes even turned that off and tried). this time after hitting the "maybe later" button for permissions by accident instead of the "accept" button , it's since then didn't add nothing, and nothing happened, got an email on my yahoo that it signed
in. went to try and add it again since the yahoo account doesn't show at all and instead i get the error. it's like the yahoo mail is signed in, but nothing shows related to the account and so i'm unable to remove it. i have uninstalled the app many times
and quite a few different ways, did the app reset which doesn't actually reset anything it seems, especially needed for this other than reloads emails from my other email accounts that i'm able to delete and re-add just fine. i have yet to come across ANY
fix for this except reformatting and reinstalling windows, which... for a simple app... no. already did that twice in the past. i don't know what i can delete to fully reset this app so i can re-add my emails since i was testing with one of my other emails
and EVERYTHING to do with it stays with all these uninstalls and resets...
ways I've "uninstalled" the app... normally, CCleaner, IObit's uninstaller WITH removing residual files, 3 or so different ways of uninstalling it through CMD/PowerShelll, even adding things that's suppose to fix it through CMD and a few other ways...
I've even gone into safemode and done a few of the things with no differences. it seems to be leaving stuff behind that makes this unable to be fixed or something, found MANY post's and forums about this with many of them locked, yet, unresolved related to
this app...
I've even gone into my yahoo account and signed out of everything to give that a try and not difference.
other notes. the account i'm trying to sign in with is also my account i use for windows login and is digitally signed with the same account. so unsure if that's a related some how to this issue.
if there is a fix for this else where, sorry, i haven't found it as I've only found post's about it since windows 10 was out, and recent that were all locked and seems like all of them were never resolved and re-installing windows should NOT be the answer to this... means something needs to be fixed with windows or the app or something. sadly, i'm not the only one who's had issues with this in the past, i just get it a lot because i reformat every so often.
i will have a screen shot of the error window that shows up EVERY time i try to add my yahoo account, BUT with every attempt, my email also get's a email saying it signed in...
